SEMI E119 - Mechanical Specification for Reduced-Pitch Front-Opening Box for Interfactory Transport of 300 mm Wafers -

NOTICE: This Standard or Safety Guideline has an Inactive Status because the conditions to maintain Current Status have not been met. Inactive Standards or Safety Guidelines are available from SEMI and continue to be valid for use.

NOTICE: This Document was reapproved with minor editorial changes.

This Standard partially specifies a reduced-pitch front-opening box for interfactory transport of 300 mm wafers (FOBIT). This reduced-pitch box, with a capacity of 25 wafers but with the approximate physical volume of a 13 wafer FOUP, is intended to reduce the cost of transporting wafers between IC manufacturing sites. To leverage current industry 300 mm technology, this reduced-pitch front-opening box is intended to interface with 13 wafer FIMS, as specified in SEMI E62.

This Standard is intended to set an appropriate level of specification that places minimal limits on innovation while ensuring modularity and interchangeability at all mechanical interfaces. Only the physical interfaces for FOBIT are specified; no materials requirements or micro-contamination limits are given. However, this Standard has been written so that both metal and injection-molded plastic FOBITs can be manufactured in conformance with it.
